No, they don't.  The config and rawdescriptors buffers get freed later 
on in usb_destroy_configuration().

This problem is something else.  Probably whatever driver is calling 
gspca_probe() (see the console log) is taking a reference to the 
usb_device or usb_interface and then failing to release that reference 
on its error path.
